First DB--So far, so good?

[CheerfulHeart]

My first batch of Dragon Blood is in primary as I type. I am wondering if it is progressing normally. I started it Monday, May 25, following the recipe with these small changes: I used 8 lbs of triple berry blend (2 4-lb bags from Costco and no kitchen scale to measure out the extra), no yeast energizer (didn't have it) and Montrachet yeast because it is what I have at the moment. Currently the SG is 1.000 and the fermentation is more effervescent than "rolling". It has a strong yeast smell and the berry scent is strong and pleasant. Does this sound like it is on track?

Yes, it sounds like you are right on que. After it has bottomed out for 3 days (giving the same reading on the hydromenter usually .090) rack it to a carboy and continue on following on with the instructions.

Thank you for the confirmation and the advice I will do that.
